Dark times Slowly running out of hope How was I supposed to know, hmmm Red lights But I missed all of the signs Only the paranoid survive, hmmm Go to bed but I can never block out your voice Radio playing but it won't drown out the noise Working late, everyday tryna fill the void From you, from you Step by step I get Get a little closer Closure from this mess And no matter how I try I can't forget I'm not done Fixing up My broken armour My broken armour Thin Ice I told ya you were skating on Didn't think you'd done anything wrong Oooh But the lies You would dress them up in gold Like a sin in sugarcoat Oooh Go to bed but I can never block out your voice (hmm) Radio playing but it won't drown out the noise (The noise, noise) Working late, everyday tryna fill the void (Tryna fill the void) From you, from you Step by step I get Get a little closer Closure from this mess And no matter how I try I can't forget I'm not done Fixing up My broken armour Got me hesitating Every move I'm making But don't be mistaken Cause your grip is fading Got me hesitating Every move I'm making But don't be mistaken Cause your grip is fading Cause your grip is fading Ohhh Tryna fill the void Step by step I get Get a little closer Closure from this mess And no matter how I try I can't forget I'm not done Fixing up My broken armour Step by step I get Get a little closer Closure from this mess And no matter how I try I can't forget I'm not done Fixing up My broken armour

Like a coward in the corner I lay there in a cold sweat Cause I don't wanna feel this Turn it off off off I'm forced to make my mind up And the walls cave in behind me As I'm standing in the doorway Get me out out out I've got a habit of just shutting down When things get louder, louder Avoiding the voices, I'm drowning them out But it's getting harder, harder Just face it Can't crack under the pressure Can't keep running forever I'm tainted How can I hold it all together When I just need a little space Don't wanna feel cause it's intimidating Better to be numb Than brave it all at once Just face it Can't crack under the pressure Can't keep running forever Like I'm waking in a nightmare Where I can't turn the light on Keep on forgetting it's reality Wake me up up up I've got a habit of just shutting down When things get louder, louder Avoiding the voices, I'm drowning them out But it's getting harder, harder Just face it Can't crack under the pressure Can't keep running forever I'm tainted How can I hold it all together When I just need a little space Don't wanna feel cause it's intimidating Better to be numb Than brave it all at once Just face it Can't crack under the pressure Can't keep running forever Run run forever Run run forever It'll catch up eventually Run run run run forever Run run forever Run run forever It'll catch up eventually Run run run run forever I've got a habit of just shutting down When things get louder, louder Avoiding the voices, I'm drowning them out But it's getting harder, harder Just face it Can't crack under the pressure Can't keep running forever I'm tainted How can I hold it all together When I just need a little space Don't wanna feel cause it's intimidating Better to be numb Than brave it all at once Just face it Can't crack under the pressure Can't keep running forever Run run forever Run run forever It'll catch up eventually Run run run run forever Run run forever Run run forever It'll catch up eventually Run run run run forever

Say A Word 02:55
I wish I was telepathic I'd know exactly how you're feeling Could give you everything you needed Hmmm Maybe I'd be more empathetic Cause I'd be staring at your demons Bargaining them for your freedom Hmmm Always had your walls up You don't wanna be selfish You carry the weight on your own Scared of being a burden But you couldn't ever I want you to share out the load You don't have to say a word You don't have to string single sentence When your head is in a blur I can hear your voice through the silence If I was a magician I could give you perfect healing And make everything have meaning So it wasn't all for nothing Vanish away your suffering Together we'll get over it Always had your walls up You don't wanna be selfish You carry the weight on your own Scared of being a burden But you couldn't ever I want you to share out the load You don't have to say a word You don't have to string single sentence When your head is in a blur I can hear your thoughts through the silence Through the silence I can Read your signals From so far away And I don't want you to break down Take a minute to be here now I can see it written All over your face You've been holding in your sadness Take a minute to be selfless You don't have to say a word You don't have to string single sentence When your head is in a blur I can hear your thoughts through the silence You don't have to say a word You don't have to string single sentence When your head is in a blur I can hear your thoughts through the silence You don't have to say a word

On My Tongue 03:11
Wish I believed that every cloud had a silver lining I'm on my knees outside your door, maybe we'll survive this No guarantees when they roll your dice S'outta your hands, don't get to decide Can't play it twice When life gives you lemons we make lemonade But no one can change the bitterness stained Another day another sour taste on my tongue On my tongue, tongue Looking for somebody I can blame, there's no one There's no one, one Every minute gets a little harder Can't swallow down my pills, I'd rather keep on bottling the pain I'm so done Done Another day another sour taste on my Don't wanna pray, desperate in this ungodly hour Starting to pace, my heart is beating louder and louder Looking for signs in every face Hoping to gauge some kind of emotion Just give me something When kept in the dark my mind runs away A glimmer of hope is all that it takes Another day another sour taste on my tongue On my tongue, tongue Looking for somebody I can blame, there's no one There's no one, one Every minute gets a little harder Can't swallow down my pills, I'd rather keep on bottling the pain I'm so done Done Another day another sour taste on my Another day another sour taste on my Another day another sour taste on my Can't swallow down my pills, I'd rather keep on bottling the pain I'm so done Done Another day another sour taste on my When life gives you lemons we make lemonade But no one can change the bitterness stained When kept in the dark my mind runs away A glimmer of hope is all that it takes Another day another sour taste on my tongue On my tongue, tongue Looking for somebody I can blame, there's no one There's no one, one Every minute gets a little harder Can't swallow down my pills, I'd rather keep on bottling the pain I'm so done I'm so done Another day another sour taste on my Another day another sour taste on my Another day another sour taste on my Can't swallow down my pills, I'd rather keep on bottling the pain I'm so done Done Another day another sour taste on my

They say when you know That's when you know But what if I don't If your not my home Where do I go Am I a fraud Or am I just bored of this I see that you called Maybe I'm flawed Cause I never call you first Am I thinking this Out of existence Or is there something that I'm missing What if she could love you Better than I could What if she could hold you in ways I know that I should Maybe you'd be happier without my barriers Yeah she would love you, oh But I'm here with imposter syndrome Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oooh But I'm here with imposter syndrome It's all an illusion Don't know what the truth is I'm feeling ruthless Starting to lose it Am I a Judas Now I'm Sick sick sick to my stomach Am I guilty oh when I wonder If there's somebody better for you Somebody better for you Am I thinking this Out of existence Or is there something that I'm missing What if she could love you Better than I could What if she could hold you in ways I know that I should Maybe you'd be happier without my barriers Yeah she would love you, Ooh But I'm here with imposter syndrome Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oooh But I'm here with imposter syndrome Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oooh But I'm here with imposter syndrome What if I'm not good enough What if I'm faking love I don't deserve you Don't wanna hurt you What if I'm not good enough What if I'm faking love I don't deserve you Don't wanna hurt you Am I not good enough I'm not good enough What if she could love you Better than I could What if she could hold you in ways I know that I should Maybe you'd be happier without my barriers Yeah she would love you, ooh But I'm here with imposter syndrome Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oooh But I'm here with imposter syndrome Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oooh But I'm here with imposter syndrome

Oh my mother she told me to keep you in my sight She said you're the older one, you're the role model Keep him by your side Oh my brother you say that your fine but you cry at night They laughed in the playground at your hand me downs Oh I wished you'd fight But if you don't want to I'll do it for you I'm gonna pray for a glitch in the matrix To wake up one day and see that we've switched places And whatever you're facing i'll face it I'll do it for you, do it for you I heard the news was so out of the blue That you weren't doing so good No you don't deserve this, but we're learning That life doesn't do as it should It's so unexpected Promise I'll keep you protected I'm gonna pray for a glitch in the matrix To wake up one day and see that we've switched places And whatever you're facing i'll face it I'll do it for you, do it for you Take some deep breaths and steady the breathing Cause I'll be the air in your lungs if you need me I'll be fighting while your asleep dreaming I'll do it for you, do it for you I don't think he can face it I'm bigger I can take it If only we could just switch places I don't think he can face it I'm bigger I can take it If only we could just switch places I don't think he can face it I'm bigger I can take it If only we could just switch places I don't think he can face it I'm bigger I can take it If only we could just switch places I'm gonna pray for a glitch in the matrix To wake up one day and see that we've switched places And whatever you're facing i'll face it I'll do it for you I'll do it for you
